Wherein, the starting control is used for controlling ignition and flameout of the engine according to instructions of the processor, and the camera is arranged at the position right in front of the automobile or the front windshield. The camera adopted by the embodiment is a monocular camera, and can realize the image acquisition of the distance of 160 meters ahead and the coverage angle of 50 degrees. Therefore, the method is applied to visual detection such as lane detection, front vehicle detection, traffic sign identification and the like.
The processor judges the congestion state of the current road and the traffic light state in the front after acquiring the image acquired by the camera, so that whether the start-stop system is allowed to be accessed to the driving process or not is controlled by combining the traffic light state and the congestion state, the intelligent degree and the practical degree of the start-stop system are greatly improved, the advantage of the start-stop system is brought to play when the traffic light is normally waited for, and the trouble brought to a user by frequent start and stop when the traffic light is congested is reduced.
Example 2:
on the basis of embodiment 1, the embodiment provides an intelligent start-stop method, which obtains a road congestion state of a current position type road section of an automobile by analyzing image data of the front of the automobile, identifies the state of a traffic light if the road section has the traffic light, and then allows or inhibits intervention of a start-stop system according to an identification result. Specifically, as shown in fig. 2, the acquiring the road congestion state and the traffic light identification state includes the following steps:
and S1, on one hand, judging whether a traffic light exists in front of the vehicle in an image recognition mode, and if so, recognizing the state of the traffic light. On the other hand, the vehicle speed of the vehicle within the image recognition range is obtained by the image recognition method. Meanwhile, the road congestion state is judged by combining the speed of the vehicle and the state of the traffic light.
In the embodiment, the vehicles in the image recognition range include vehicles in front of the automobile and/or vehicles in front of adjacent lanes, as shown in fig. 3.
The road congestion state includes a state of good road condition and a state of traffic congestion.
S2, after the identification of the current road congestion state is completed, when the current road congestion state is judged to be traffic congestion, the intervention of a start-stop system is inhibited; otherwise, judging that the current road congestion state is good, and allowing the start-stop system to intervene.

When the road condition is good and the traffic jam is temporary, the system still allows the intervention of the start-stop system, namely when the intervention requirement of the start-stop system is met, the automobile still stops and stops. When the automobile is in a traffic jam state, the automobile can not stop and flameout by inhibiting the intervention of the start-stop system, namely, the intervention requirement of the start-stop system is met in time.

After the relative position of the vehicle is determined, contact capture and tracking of the vehicle in front is achieved by acquiring and analyzing a plurality of images in continuous time. And recording the change of the relative distance between the front vehicle and the vehicle in a preset time period. Therefore, the speed of the front vehicle is judged by combining the real-time speed of the vehicle.
